Exclusive: Chinese banks prepare contingency plans over threat of U.S.
sanctions, sources say

BEIJING/HONG KONG/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese state lenders are revamping
contingency plans in anticipation of U.S. legislation that could penalise
banks for serving officials who implement the new national security law for
Hong Kong, sources at five state financial institutions said.
In a "worst-case scenario" under consideration by Chinese commercial
megabanks Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC),
the lenders are said to be looking at the possibility of being cut off from
U.S. dollars or losing access to U.S. dollar settlements, two Reuters
sources said. | c****o

central bank reserves.
“We are hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. You never know
how things will turn out,” one of the sources said.
Reflecting concern over the erosion of the former British colony’s autonomy
, the U.S. House and Senate unanimously passed the bill last week. It has
yet to be signed into law by President Donald Trump.
The bill calls for sanctions on Chinese officials and others who help
violate Hong Kong’s autonomy and on financial institutions that do business
with them. But it does not spell out what the sanctions would look like.
“There are sanctions in this bill which could be interpreted to prevent a
bank from clearing some dollar transactions via U.S. institutions, but
unlike other congressional sanctions bills there are not specific provisions
mandating it,” said Nick Turner, a lawyer specialising in sanctions and
anti-money laundering at Steptoe & Johnson in Hong Kong.
He said it remained to be seen whether the law would be used in such a way.
In a milder scenario being looked at by the Agricultural Bank of China (
AgBank) (601288.SS) (1288.HK), lenders would need to find ways to address
the problem of clients blacklisted by the United States, especially those
who might face a sudden loss of liquidity, a third source said.
The sources all declined to be named as the planning is confidential. Bank
of China, ICBC and AgBank did not immediately respond to Reuters requests
for comment.
LEASING FIRMS TOO
The contingency planning has been initiated by the banks themselves, three
of the sources said.
The People’s Bank of China and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory
Commission, top financial regulators overseeing country’s financial
stability and the banking sector, did not immediately respond to Reuters
requests for comment.
The worst-case scenario under consideration by the Bank of China also
envisions what would happen in the event of a run on its branches in Hong
Kong if customers feared that it would run out of U.S. currency, one of the
sources said.
It is also looking at the experience of banks in Iran, the same person said.
Iranian banks have been hit from time to time by U.S. sanctions dating back
to the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Bank of China, the country’s most international lender, had the biggest
exposure of the country’s big four lenders to the greenback at the end of
2019, with about $433 billion in liabilities.
China’s top four banks, which also include ICBC, China Construction Bank (
601939.SS) (0939.HK) and AgBank, had a combined 7.5 trillion yuan ($1
trillion) in U.S. dollar liabilities at the end of 2019, annual reports show.
The sources also said that least three state-run leasing firms, including an
ICBC unit and CSIC Leasing, are also making contingency plans. Leasing
firms are often heavily reliant on dollar borrowing to fund purchases of
aircraft, machinery and facilities.
ICBC Leasing and CSIC Leasing did not immediately respond to requests for
comment.
